💈🥹💇♀️ A MUST-WATCH!💇♂️🥹💈
Three generations of generosity! Meet this family who has been involved with our Hair-A-Thon event since the first one in 2015.
The 11th Annual University of Michigan Health-Sparrow Children's Center Hair-a-Thon in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is coming Sept. 20. Volunteer stylists will be on site at the UM Health-Sparrow Herbert-Herman Cancer Center in the first-floor lobby to provide free haircuts for donation.
Hair donations go to Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan or Children With Hair Loss, both Michigan-based organizations that provide free wigs for children and adolescents who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment or other causes.
Hair donations of eight or more inches are preferred and hair must be clean and in good condition. Chemically treated and partially gray hair is accepted. Monetary donations and previously cut ponytails or braids are welcome.
For the third year in a row, we will also be hosting a bone marrow registry drive through NMDP, formerly known as the National Marrow Donor Program and Be The Match.
Individuals 18-40 years of age who are interested in joining the NMDP Registry can swab their cheeks and fill out registration information on-site to perhaps help a patient with a life-threatening blood cancer or disease.
Although no appointment is required for this year's Hair-a-Thon, please feel free to reserve a time to donate your hair or to learn more about the event by visiting https://lnkd.in/gt7tczVy.

On this Patriot Day, we honor those we lost in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
University of Michigan Health-Sparrow Carson and Clinton each held ceremonies this morning in recognition of the day. Hospital staff, including some veterans, observed a moment of silence around their flag poles to honor the victims of 9/11 and the American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the war on terrorism.

We want to make sure our patients and team members are aware that work will soon extend further west on Michigan Avenue directly in front of the hospital and we strongly encourage everyone to use alternate routes. Please know that the hospital remains open and fully accessible, and all emergency services will be fully maintained.

Great information here from our team at Michigan Medicine!
Glioblastomas are the deadliest form of malignant brain tumor, and most patients diagnosed with the disease live only one or two years.
U-M researchers have found that these cancer cells rewire how they use sugar, which can be targeted in mice to slow tumor growth and improve treatment responses.

Sometimes the bravest hearts are the smallest. 💖
Last year, Kari Best-Sturgill watched her daughter, Katlyn, undergo scoliosis surgery at UM Health-Sparrow and face her challenges with courage and strength.
This year, Kari had a mission: to bring comfort to other children facing the same journey. She set her heart on raising funds to donate Higgy Bears, which are special bears designed to help kids with scoliosis feel less alone.
Through the support of our amazing community, she raised enough to donate SIXTEEN Higgy Bears to the young warriors at UM Health-Sparrow!
